Does the boys' mission have the same problem?

Being on a train for a whole day affords me some time for this!

I'm enjoying this peek into a new canon. The scenes feel a little disconnected, though, and not just the one with the time-skip to the Stu's transformation. Using the game images to accompany scene changes is nice, but don't forget to narrate them, too, especially since not all readers may be able to view images for one reason or another.

Lux being here is really what got me interested in reading this, and I like a lot of how you're writing her. Pointing out that the Stu being male doesn't mean there won't be canon-lusting was much appreciated, and her take on Ursula's sexiness was great. (Like many Disney villains, she's a queer icon, too!) She seems less airheaded than usual, though, and I miss that unfocussed bubbliness to her personality. The part where she gets distracted by the hotness of all the various school uniforms felt the most in-character for her, but it didn't seem to take much effort to get here back on track. IMO, working with Lux should always be both an education and a blissful disaster. {= )

Still, I'll be sure to tune in for part 3!

I guess that makes sense. Miraculous Suethors are generally pro-Marinette. Huh. (The badfic in question is even called Run Chloé Run.)

And yeah, the animation is okay. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.

And I’m not sure exactly what Thomas Astruc thing you’re referring to.

I'm enjoying this overly testosterony hyper-male parody you've created! Also, I finally looked up what Overblots look like, so it's easier to picture the minis now.

Although Lila is the actual more villainy one and Chloe is well, someone with a rough upbringing who got brutally screwed over by both the writers, Ladybug, her parents, her sister and the entire show, Chloe gets so much more hate, and much more extreme hate at that. The people who write oc inserts into Miraculous Ladybug tend (emphasis on tend) to be the most hardcore Marinette fans, and thus the most hardcore Chloe haters.

Also, "likes" is not- exactly the word I'd use to describe my relationship with Miraculous Ladybug. The absolute best praise I could give it is "goodish concept, okay animation". I definitely used to like MLB though, and thus, I have canon knowledge up to I think season 4. I kind of dropped off once I learned about the whole Thomas Astruc thing which was really, really creepy.

Though I could see Lila getting this treatment too. And yay, someone else has heard of and likes Miraculous!

This is quite the Stu you have there, Yuki. Just...wow. And with some extra of Luxury’s everyone-lusting. Yay.

—Ls is impressed and a little horrified.

I mean, we do mission badfics that are explicit, so I’m not sure why that’d be an issue...if anyone actually reads anything like that (so, not me) and actually wanted to write a mission in such a continuum. I would never. Blech. But I think it’d be allowed.

—Ls

I do tend to do a lot at once, don’t I?

Granted, no one else seems to know any of the continua I like.

Oh well.

—Ls

This was mostly a theoretical question anyways. I honestly haven't read any of the works on the list, and haven’t heard of most of them.

Maybe we should add this to the article?

I can only assume FFn have decided that grumpy authors are no longer worth listening to. I wonder when that happened?

So... ignoring the in-universe rationalization I just posted: we regard certain continuua as off-limits out of respect for the authors' wishes. If we respect the authors, then we probably shouldn't be using any versions of their characters. "GRRM wouldn't mind, because this badfic clone of Daenerys is from the show!" sounds more like rules-lawyering than actual respect, so it's probably best to stay out of adaptations as well.

We already clearly ban missions to things like religious texts, but do we ban missions to works that are themselves canonically of Lemon or higher Citrus rankings? Do we allow Fifty Shades missions?

Here, listed under A.

Fanfiction.net has a section for "Game of Thrones", but not for Song of Ice and Fire; that suggests GoT is open for fanfic. On the other hand, they don't have a section for "Interview with the Vampire"; it looks like Anne Rice requested the removal of stories featuring her characters, rather than fanfic of her books.

Per Wikipedia, GRRM considers fanfic to be copyright infringement. He's wrong, but that's the basis for his ban - so who owns the copyright to GoT? My guess would be HBO, who have not requested a take-down.

Given that there is no solid legal basis for banning fanfic, we're left with the creators' wishes. If they don't want people playing with their characters or worlds, that would cover adaptations. If they just talk about copyright, then only things they still own count.

hS

maybe space them out a little and don't report too frequently?

In which the Stu gets even more ridiculous. Gotta give myself some credit for coming up with such a crazy creature 🤣

If a continuum is quarantined, are all adaptations quarantined too? Like, is the Games of Thrones TV series off-limits? Or does authorial fiat not apply to something that they didn’t actually create?

—Ls hopes this is a valid question.

Here, Mal has an abusive OC husband...and...I just don’t really understand.

This very beige, typo-ridden Grisha Trilogy fic. Short, and bad.

—Ls

I meant that it was fun seeing it in a more standard mission context.

Not sure what's going on there, but I'll be sure to let you know when it's gone properly live. Sorry about that... :(
